Alejandro Garnacho getting ahead of himself? Man Utd outcast announces Chelsea transfer despite Blues still waiting to drive down £50m asking price

According to talkSPORT, Garnacho has informed his close friends that his move to Chelsea is imminent, even though the west London side are yet to finalise his transfer from United. The Blues have apparently told the United outcast to stay patient, while they continue transfer talks with the Red Devils.

United have reportedly set an asking price of £50 million ($67.5m) for their academy graduate, but Chelsea believe that there is still scope to negotiate and reduce their demands. Talks between the two Premier League rivals are set to accelerate in the coming days.

United fans made their feelings clear towards Garnacho during the club's season opener against Arsenal last Sunday as they defaced a mural of the Argentine outside Old Trafford, not long before the match started. 

The Sun reported on Monday that Chelsea's failure to offload Christopher Nkunku, because of their steep valuation, is delaying their pursuit of Garnacho. The 21-year-old will hope that his transfer gets finalised soon so that he can return to the pitch in the new season.
